Now you can not only see which tariff is best for you, but where you can get it for the cheapest price.  This is possible because we now compare tariffs and handsets from Phones4U and Mobiles.co.uk, bringing the latest release of our mobile price comparison site up to an incredible 6.8 million mobile deals.

These stores often offer free gifts with tariffs, and we’ve included those too. Currently we pick the gift for you based on which provides the highest straight-up monetary value. In our next update, we’ll be providing a choice of gifts, so if you’re set on that free Playstation 3, we’ll be able to help you out.

In addition to the new deals, we’ve sped up the site significantly. We hope that you’ll notice the difference! We’ve also been working hard under the hood to prepare the system for even more tariffs. The mobile market is an incredibly complicated place, and we’re just getting started!

My God, it’s full of graphs!

If you’ve not done a bill assessment on Karoosh, now is definitely the time. Each bill assessment now comes with an extra helping of graphs that break down exactly how you have been using your phone over the last few months. We’re working on expanding these to talk about what your plan costs you, comparing your current plan to what Karoosh forecasts, and plan showdowns. More about these in a future post.

This week also sees a flock of updates to our plans. Since the recent Vodaphone upheaval they are looking much more competitive, but Three are still dominating the pack. Alexei is currently looking to formalize exactly how full of win Three’s tariffs are (using the power of maths), but I’m guessing it’s at least a seven.

Finally, there are a lot of small tweaks to the overall usability of the site. We’ve been getting kind folk into the office under the promise of usability wine and grilling them about how the site makes them feel. Overall I think it’s a big improvement and the site is beginning to shape up quite nicely.
